If you use me up You've gone too far Save the whale Blah Blah Blah Mammoth When it's gone it's gone When I'm gone You can't change your mind Evolution left me behind Mammoth When it's gone it's gone What's that sound? There's no one left Last man standing Scared to death Mammoth When it's gone it's gone

The Passerby 04:36
lyrics

Am I out of touch with everything? I'm walking backwards You see it all come around again When you miss your turn I've been out of fashion all my life I'll always be the passerby And when the night bursts into life I'll always be the passerby And I wonder why we don't connect I'm drowning in the rhythm If you think that I'm engaged with you It's just an illusion I've been out of fashion all my life I'll always be the passerby And when the night bursts into life I'll always be the passerby Is there someone else? You ask yourself As I walk on by Am I out of touch with everything? I'm walking backwards You see it all come around again When you miss your turn I've been out of fashion all my life I'll always be the passerby And when the night bursts into life I'll always be the passerby And I wonder why we don't connect I'm drowning in the rhythm If you think that I'm engaged with you It's just an illusion I've been out of fashion all my life I'll always be the passerby And when the night bursts into life I'll always be the passerby

End Of The Eighties 04:26
lyrics
buy track
Are you frightened of the truth? Now we've finally turned a corner And you find I'm wrong I watch the world go by and it breaks my heart That we can't be together always If nothing lasts forever How can this night go on and on? If we can't be together always Do you need to see some proof I don't secretly adore her By design I'm wrong I watch the world go by and it breaks my heart That we can't be together always If nothing lasts forever How can this night go on and on? If we can't be together always

Penny Black 03:37
lyrics
buy track
Not 'til after midnight She shows up Like the bad penny blues From out of nowhere Like an arrow in the eye You see her coming You're through No one knows what I'm talking about Her love feels cold No one knows what I mean Her love feels cold No one knows what I'm talking about Her love feels cold No one knows what I mean Her love feels cold I had to see her again I asked the doorman if she'd been here before He told me I'd met Penny Black And how she'd died Way back in 1984 No one knows what I'm talking about Her love feels cold No one knows what I mean Her love feels cold No one knows what I'm talking about Her love feels cold No one knows what I mean Her love feels cold

The Red Shoes 04:23
lyrics
buy track
Dream Baby Dream All alone in your keep In your red stitched stilettos You dance in your sleep Well the sandman is cool But he won't make your bed So you sell all his clothes And get naked instead It won't stop here and it won't stop now And we won't stop dancing 'cos we don't know how Lay Lady Lay On your way to the top You're dancing for Jesus So bop 'til you drop There's a hole in your heart And that ring buys you time 'Til the beat of the night takes a hold on your mind It won't stop here and it won't stop now And we won't stop dancing 'cos we don't know how Cry Baby Cry Now you're out on your own Hoping that someone will carry you home The music is over You talk to yourself If you want conversation Then go someplace else It won't stop here and it won't stop now And we won't stop dancing 'cos we don't know how

On VHS Nobody can pretend It all looked better then We were gentlemen On VHS What did you erase In the Golden Age of Video? Your secret's safe with me Who's recording you? On VHS You can't rewind the truth I'm reminding you On VHS Nobody can pretend It all looked better then We were gentlemen On VHS La La La On VHS

What are you crying for We don't have time Now we can't make up like we used to What are you lying for 'Cos I don't mind That we don't make it like we used to I'm so dumb So unlike you It doesn't matter anyway I'm so dumb Nothing like you It doesn't matter any way We never found a better way What are you waiting for You're not mine So we can't fake it like we used to What are you praying for There's no life And we can't wake up like we used to I'm so dumb So unlike you It doesn't matter anyway I'm so dumb So unlike like you It doesn't matter any way We never found a better way I'm so dumb So unlike you It doesn't matter anyway I'm so dumb So Unlikely It doesn't matter any way We never found a better way I'm so dumb Exactly like you It doesn't matter any way It's lucky that it doesn't matter

Pretty Thing 04:28
lyrics
buy track
He is at the demonstration waiting still for you Another invitation you simply can't refuse Look and see what you can find The gods are on the make I am here before your eyes And standing in your wake Don't believe a word they said They want to get inside your head You are just a pretty thing Who falls in love with everything Now she wants to keep you She calls you by your name If you wear the colours You can give it all away Tell her that I've gone way I'm learning how to fall I don't want to be another picture on her wall Don't believe a word they said They want to get inside your head You are just a pretty thing Who falls in love with everything You can keeuyor radio I'll give you a clue We cut out so we can keep a piece of tomorrow for you We keep talking 'freedom' It's selling the disease Waiting for pathetic sharks To tell us what we need Don't believe a word they said They want to get inside your head You are just a pretty thing Who falls in love with everything

Simon's World 03:06
lyrics
buy track
He's not a music lover He doesn't listen to the words He catalogues the way we used to live In analogue and digital We're all on file Believe me I don't need your approval It's Simon's World And we just live in IT I tried to save the future from all these retrograde gods You cannot change the way it's meant to be In analogue and digital We're all on file Believe me I don't need your approval It's Simon's World And we just live in IT

Weatherman 03:23
lyrics

I don't believe in blue-sky thinking Let's walk straight into the storm I'm in love with the rain I don't look for silver linings Or trust the other weatherman The pressure's falling Can you feel it? Let's drink the ocean while we can I'm in love with the rain

Dust 03:29
lyrics
buy track
You took my photograph But you don't recognise me I'm standing right in front of you We could write a book And you'd remember us We're forgotten men We're turning into dust No one is calling back No one is looking in N one is reading this No one is listening We could write a song And you're remember us We're forgotten men We're turning into dust You saw my exhibition But you don't show me nothing All my work has come to nought We could paint a picture And you'd remember us We're forgotten men We're turning into dust Dust Turning into dust Dust

Undertones 05:15
lyrics
buy track
The apartment down the hall Imagining America before The Fall Each song must end So a new one can begin And we can keep on dancing Instead of heading West Let's turn our backs on setting sons And do our best Each song must end So a new one can begin And we can keep on dancing When you go back in time You find a certain symmetry It had to be Each song must end So a new one can begin And we can keep on dancing I'm not thinking of you now A ghost among the broken stones And undertones Each song must end So a new one can begin And we can keep on dancing
